# Cherry Lisp
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/\
|
|
| \ A tiny, curried and lazy Lisp.
|
|
@ @
|

```
|
|
|
|
## Curried? Lazy?
|
|
|
|
Currying consists in convert **one function** that takes **multiple arguments** into **multiple functions** that each take a **single argument**.
|
|
|
|
*WIP*
|
|
|
|
Lazyness is when an expression is only evaluated **when is necessary**.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- Interpreted
|
|
- Dynamic typed
|
|
- Functional (impure)
|
|
- Curried
|
|
- Lazy evaluation
|
|
- It's a Lisp
|
|
|
|
## Inspiration
|
|
|
|
This language is being created for fun.
|
|
|
|
It takes inspiration of some features of *Haskell* (like currification and lazy evaluation) and the syntax of *Lisp*.
|
|
|
|
## A small taste
|
|
|
|
``` lisp
|
|
cherry> (set! x 10)
|
|
nil
|
|
cherry> x
|
|
10
|
|
cherry> (const 3 6)
|
|
3
|
|
cherry> (set! always-seven (const 7))
|
|
nil
|
|
cherry> always-seven
|
|
#[lambda y x]
|
|
cherry> (always-seven 1)
|
|
7
|
|
cherry> (always-seven 8)
|
|
7
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Download and build instructions
|
|
|
|
Install the *stack* build tool. On *Debian* based systems, run (as root):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# apt install haskell-stack
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Clone the repo:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ git clone https://git.fai.su/Suguivy/cherry-lisp
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Compile it:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ cd cherry-lisp
|
|
$ stack upgrade
|
|
$ stack build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Install and execute it:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ stack install
|
|
$ cherry
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
*Work in progress...*
